Few things can set the internet ablaze like the announcement of a new HAIM single. The sister trio, known for their effortlessly cool sound and genre-blending melodies, sent fans into a frenzy when they revealed their upcoming single, "Everybody’s Trying to Figure Me Out," dropping this Friday.

The band took to social media to share the news, with Danielle Haim calling it her "favorite song we've written in the last couple of years." Naturally, fans were thrilled—but they also had one very pressing demand.

One Twitter user, @yurannobeat, echoing the collective yearning of HAIM’s fanbase, responded with a blunt yet passionate plea:

"WE NEED THE ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT."

With the band’s last studio album, Women in Music Pt. III, released back in 2020, it’s understandable why their followers are eager for more. But for now, excitement is bubbling over for this new track, which promises to be deeply personal and emotionally resonant. The online reaction? A mix of heartwarming memes, over-the-top enthusiasm, and, of course, some hilarious chaos.


HAIM’s new single has fans excited—but they're begging for an album too

The HAIM fandom, known for its creativity and fervor, wasted no time in expressing their elation. Social media platforms became a tapestry of memes, heartfelt messages, and humorous quips, all celebrating the impending release. @newromwntics, capturing the universal sentiment, proclaimed,

"HAIM SUMMER," suggesting that the season's soundtrack had been unequivocally decided.

@xtorturedchloe shared a meme featuring Kermit the Frog with the caption,

"i'm sat," humorously conveying the impatience and eagerness permeating the community.

The band's fashion choices also became a topic of lively discussion. A particularly observant fan, @fairyfeind inquired,

"Wait . where are the boots from …,"

The song's cover art, featuring evocative imagery, inspired poetic responses such as,

"there are cathedrals to all who can see," -@c0lbyr3y

The overarching sentiment was perhaps best summarized by @umbeerobyjane who declared,

"i've never been so ready,"

While @haimbrina nostalgically mused,

"i've dreamed of times like these,"

The story behind the single: Personal struggles and artistic expression

In a personal admission, Danielle said that a panic episode she had after getting home from tour served as the song's inspiration. Despite the tour's success, she described experiencing an unexplained dread that prompted her to reflect on her identity and external expectations. This period of reflection culminated in a song that became a beacon during challenging times. Danielle expressed hope that the single would resonate with others facing similar struggles, offering solace and understanding.


Alana Haim's involvement: A unified front

While Danielle's personal narrative significantly shaped the single, Alana Haim's contributions remain integral to the band's cohesive sound. Although specific details about Alana's role in this particular single are limited, her consistent presence and musicianship continue to influence HAIM's evolving musical landscape. The sisters' collaborative synergy ensures that each release is a harmonious blend of their individual talents and shared vision.
